The Perfect Sweater

I have been on the hunt for the perfect norwegian sweater quite for a while now, so I was pretty delighted when I found out about these beautiful sweaters by the german label evaw-wave, while I was reading a local magazine. It seems that this is their first winter collection which is called Oslo-Go-Slow and before they have been doing mainly bathing and swimwear. Actually, I do like the winter collection much better, maybe because I only go swimming like once in a year or maybe because I always had a thing for deers. I think I'm gonna get the orange sweater, I really like that it is so long, so it can be also worn as a dress.

Grumpy

Today we collected my vintage Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, that I got from ebay, from the customs duty office. I didn't have to pay anything, but unfortunately the shoes don't fit. They are marked a US size 7, but the seller said they would fit like an 8. I guess not so. So I think I'm going to put these up on Ebay again, but still I'm a little bit grumpy now.

Crochet Dress

I got this crochet dress on Ebay a while ago and today it arrived in the mail. It's amazing, because it seems to be all handmade it must have been a lot of work to make it. And I got it for only 10€. It also comes with a little jacket. The strangest thing is, the seller sold it as a dress from the 70ies, but it appears to be much older, like from the 20ies, because it is so fragile, but I don't know exactly, it has an insewn slip underneath which seems to be a polyblend. I don't know since when this material was made. The 50ies I think. Anyhow this is a very beautiful dress for spring.

Alex & Chloe

I love the necklaces of Alex and Chloe, especially the one with the octopus. It also comes as a brooch. This is something I might really want to get as a Christmas present, so I guess I have to spread the word... It would give rather simple dresses, blouses or T-Shirts this kind of odd look, that I love. You can buy these necklaces at their online shop here.
